Oatmeal Chocolate Sea Salt Cookies {Yum}

Can I just say that these are some of the best cookies I've ever had? I should preface this by saying that I have a slight obsession with sea salt. I just find it to be the most divine thing ever created in the cooking universe (that may be exaggerating a bit but so true). Not only is it a healthier alternative to table salt, it has such a better flavor and adds so much more to food than iodized table salt. Just my opinion of course!

So this recipe had me at sea salt for sure. Of course the fact that it involved oatmeal and chocolate chips helped a bit too. I love that this recipe is a somewhat healthier version of a chocolate chip cookie. Even my picky, picky 5 year old enjoyed these and she's not a fan of oatmeal cookies!

I got this recipe from Weelicious and might I say I love her?!?! Instead of using just plain old semi-sweet chocolate chips, I had to go for the Ghiradelli 60% Cocao, and I really think it makes all the difference. The combination of bitter chocolate and sea salt is divine. I just know you will love them!

I will be bringing this to my food and booze club meeting tomorrow night with some frozen yogurt to accompany it. It will be a hit!
